Akala Island, to the northeast, contains Alola's only active volcano, [[Wela Volcano Park]], and has the most settlements of the four islands. It boasts several huge resort hotels, all in [[Heahea City]], one of which has its own beach and golf course. It is notable for [[Brooklet Hill]], whose cascading waterfalls give off the impression of a terrace field. | Akala Island, to the northeast, contains Alola's only active volcano, [[Wela Volcano Park]], and has the most settlements of the four islands.

Ula'ula Island to the southeast is the largest of Alola's islands, and also the most varying in terms of weather and terrain, which is significantly rougher. For such a large island, it has few settlements; one is an abandoned town while another is in ruins and contains just a Pokémon Center. These all sit in the shadow of what is essentially a contiguous mountain range in the heart of the island, which boasts not just three mountains, but also a harsh desert. Towards the southwest is a lagoon with breakable | Ula'ula Island to the southeast is the largest of Alola's islands, and also the most varying in terms of weather and terrain, which is significantly rougher.

Poni Island, to the southwest, is more sparsely populated, having only one settlement; and, similar to the [[Battle Zone]] in [[Sinnoh]], is full of rugged and harsh environments. The island is mostly mountainous and rocky in part due to the sprawling canyon - which is in itself described as a natural [[Island challenge|trial site]] - that takes up over half the island's space, although the coastline areas are more level. | Poni Island, to the southwest, is more sparsely populated, having only one settlement; and, similar to the [[Battle Zone]] in [[Sinnoh]], is full of rugged and harsh environments.
